Google Analytics is an SAP Customer Service Agent’s Best Friend
Wouldn’t it be awesome if through some amazing telepathic feat of technology you could be alerted to the fact that one of your customers is starting to get really anxious about the delivery of their order?

They reasoned that if that was their customers’ preferred way to interact with them, who were they to tell them otherwise? They certainly were not going to ask their customers to retype their orders into an eCommerce website!
